I would have been more interested in a co-deved Starfox or Tales DS, but whatever, the more support the better...

Directly below the story they say "Is Nintendo planning a DS rumblepak? When DiscoStew set his Alarm on the DS he was asked whether the rumble pak should be enabled".

Xenosaga DS - Now you can continue playing the game on the bottom screen while a very long winded FMV plays on the top screen!

Anyway, hooray for Namco.  Who would have thought that such a huge Playstation loyalist during the 32/64 bit generation would be arguably Nintendo's most loyal third party?

And another Baten Kaitos game is pretty good news since I don't think the original was a huge seller or anything.

Now does anyone have a source in English?

Nice!  I wonder why Namco is so sweet on Nintendo?  Money hats?  Or just niceness?

Yuck Ewww Xenosaga.

I think I know why it is on the DS thought.  I don't suppose the PSP culd suffer the 30 minute custscenes that Xenosaga entails.

Aren't Iwata and Namco's president quite "buddy-buddy"?

SCOLDED!!!
I think Baten Kaitos could be played better and faster with the use of the touch screen so that's great.  I too want a Tales DS and since PSP is getting a Tales, I hope a DS one isn't too far off.  Co devved star fox?  Unnecessary.  Namco has already put down building blocks for SF:Assualt- Nintendo can handle the rest.  They are doing that for Metroid after all.
